i have a few questions

i just lowered my car on tein cs coilovers about 2 weeks ago, i just got my spc toebolts in the mail today (i will be running oem camber) but dont have time or tools to put them on right now. i just looked at the inside of my tires and they are wearing pretty quickly from the toe. so my questions are..

if i raise my coils back up will it bring me back to specs?
should i put spacers on b4 an alignment?
or can i just put spacers on after an alignment?

im lowered about 2 inch in the front and about 2 in the rear.

^Ideally, spacers before alignment... and you're not going to get it in spec without an alignment.

Ask the alignment shop how much they'll charge to install the bolts for you, as there is some grinding involved (slot has to be lengthened)

Raising them will make it better, obviously. I don't htink those coils go back up to stock height so it'll never be 100% until you allign.

Stock Toe bolts might actually be fine for 2" of drop, but I'm not sure about that. And you have them, so may as well slap them in.

You need adjustable camber arms if you want to run proper camber, you know that right? Toe bolts are, clearly, only for toe.

And in theory (I think), spacers should make absolutely NO difference to your allignment

Then perhaps you intended to write OEM TOE, instead of what you actually wrote.

Im hearing a noise from the rear end of my cabin when going over bumps/humps. The best way to describe it is if you put a stack of books or a five pound weight on the rear deck and as you hit a bump, the items are lifted into the air and then fall back down onto the deck. I checked my spare tire and it is tightly fastened down. Havent checked my scissor jack yet. Any idea's?

06X got the upgraded brakes finally so they're the same as the 06 2WD.
